Question
My baby rarely smiles, and no matter how much I try to make him laugh, he won’t. I see other children full of energy, and it’s very painful for me. A few days ago, I took the baby to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said the baby has a brain tumor. I want to know how common are brain tumors in newborns.
Answer
Hello, according to clinical observations, the occurrence rate of brain tumors in premature babies is relatively high. This is because the brains of premature babies are not fully developed and mature, making them more susceptible to injury. Therefore, the risk of brain tumors in premature babies is relatively high as well. I suggest you maintain an optimistic attitude and try not to worry too much. Please take your child to the hospital for a comprehensive and timely check-up, and start treatment as soon as possible. In your daily life, pay attention to cultivating good eating and living habits, consume more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water.
